The most obvious aspect of this essay is that the author is fully convicted of the mortal meat-body vision created in the image of scientism and reductionist exoteric religion that now patterns the entire world. And in the authors case the "theology" department of the academy, or the left-brained mind-factory - aka the misnamed "University".

To even begin to understand the relation between scientism and religion you have to take into account the philosophical and cultural implications of Einsteins famous archetypal E-MC2 equation,and of quantum physics/theory altogether.

Archetypal because it communicates a fundamental Truth about the nature of existence: namely that all of this IS energy of light, and existence altogether is full of unexplainable space-time paradoxes.

The same archetypal Truth communicated in the phrase "christ is risen", which, again, means/implies/communicates that ALL of this is energy, or that so called "matter" IS Light.That IS Good News because if properly understood and embraced it releases us from the dark implications of dead "matter".

If all of this is Energy or Light then the question arises as to how do we thus understand and do/practice biochemistry, biophysics, human anatomy, human life and human culture altogether. How do we do medicine out of the understanding that the human body is energy? How do we practice ordinary diet, sexuality, and social relations on that basis? How do we bring the higher knowledge of quantum physics and Spiritual esotericism into the daily practice of ordinary people?

Furthermore, what is we add C for Consciousness to the equation:

C = E = MC2

Which tells us that all of this is Radiant Conscious Light. And that in Truth & Reality we ARE that.

What IS Light? What IS Consciousness? Is there any difference, or is the seeming difference a mind created presumption or illusion?

If you go more and more deeply into the layers of the body-mind, until you get to the Deepest level, Where it is not possible to reduce your subjectivity any further, Such That There IS ONLY Consciousness - What IS It? And if you investigate "objects" more and more profoundly, eventually getting to the irreducible end-point of "objectivity", Such That There Is ONLY Energy, or ONLY Light - What IS That?
